Summer tires back on the car, and this time they get to stay.

Siegfried responds by chopping the spear in half with his sword, Nothung. At which point Wotan says, "I can no longer stop you" and steps aside to allow Siegfried to pass. Same story.

Note the various phallic symbols...

I did the full polish job today on Baby to get her looking good for the spring: Griot's Garage Paint Prep to strip all of the old wax and sealant off, clayed the paint with Pinnacle's clay, polished the paint with swirl remover and Meguiar's ultimate polish, and did the sealant (also Meguiar's). Had to stop there because it got dark. I can pick up next week with the wax. My arms are about to fall off!

I've come to look at rotors as wear items. Unless going to BBK I would just get Centric blanks (or slotted maybe if you want). DBA are baller and light though.

Yeah, unless if you see cracking or warping on your rotors with your current pads, I'd just do Centrics. If you step up to the Winmax W5s, I'd recommend the DBAs (source: buddy of mine runs W5s and his OEM rotors seriously overheat).

Luckily my currently running W1 and upgrading to W3, so Centrics will be efficient enough. We'll see... Gotta buy other parts too

I think my tires come in tomorrow! No more winter rubber!

Siggy was a better man for having to work for it. Good job, Gramps.

I kind of feel your pain. I'm torn between a new pistol, a tuner for my car, or no to both and just putting that money into a car payment.

Financial responsibility is hard.
